The eagerly awaited LR4 has been released this morning. I have downloaded it and started to play with it. The installation was very straightforward and it picks up the setting of the previous version installed. It also offers to backup and convert the old catalog to the new version. The IQ is slightly better compared to LR3.6 and the soft proofing is a much welcome addition. However, I also notice a speed decrease compared to 3.6. Early testers have been complaining about the sluggishness on other fora, so unfortunately I have to confirm it. Mind you, I have one of the fastest PCs money can buy so it really is not due to the limitations of my own system. Perhaps the culprit is the converted catalog from version 3.6. I shall create a new LR4 catalog from scratch to verify that this is/isn't the case. To be continued....
